22.10.8 Comparisons [comparisons]

22.10.8.1 General [comparisons.general]

1

#

The library provides basic function object classes for all of the comparison operators in the language ([expr.rel], [expr.eq]).

2

#

For templates less, greater, less_equal, andgreater_equal, the specializations for any pointer type yield a result consistent with the implementation-defined strict total order over pointers ([defns.order.ptr]).

[Note 1:

If a < b is well-defined for pointers a and b of type P, then (a < b) == less

()(a, b),(a > b) == greater

()(a, b), and so forth.

— end note]

For template specializations less, greater,less_equal, and greater_equal, if the call operator calls a built-in operator comparing pointers, the call operator yields a result consistent with the implementation-defined strict total order over pointers.

22.10.8.6 Class template greater_equal [comparisons.greater.equal]

🔗

🔗

constexpr bool operator()(const T& x, const T& y) const;

1

#

22.10.8.7 Class template less_equal [comparisons.less.equal]

🔗

template<class T = void> struct less_equal { constexpr bool operator()(const T& x, const T& y) const; };

🔗

constexpr bool operator()(const T& x, const T& y) const;

1

#

🔗

template<class T, class U> constexpr auto operator()(T&& t, U&& u) const -> decltype(std::forward<T>(t) <= std::forward<U>(u));

22.10.8.8 Class compare_three_way [comparisons.three.way]

🔗

namespace std {struct compare_three_way {template<class T, class U>constexpr auto operator()(T&& t, U&& u) const; using is_transparent = unspecified; };}

🔗

template<class T, class U> constexpr auto operator()(T&& t, U&& u) const;

1

#

Constraints: T and U satisfy three_way_comparable_with.

2

#

Preconditions: If the expression std::forward(t) <=> std::forward(u) results in a call to a built-in operator <=> comparing pointers of type P, the conversion sequences from both T and U to P are equality-preserving ([concepts.equality]); otherwise, T and U model three_way_comparable_with.

3

#

Effects:

If the expression std::forward(t) <=> std::forward(u) results in a call to a built-in operator <=> comparing pointers of type P, returns strong_ordering::less if (the converted value of) t precedes u in the implementation-defined strict total order over pointers ([defns.order.ptr]), strong_ordering::greater if u precedes t, and otherwise strong_ordering::equal.

Otherwise, equivalent to: return std::forward(t) <=> std::forward(u);
